Over 100 Common Electronics Get a Girly Makeover in Aniplex's New Mobile RPG

Aniplex's Bancho Works mobile game company is turning over 100 everyday electronic appliances into cute girls in its Kaden Shojo (lit. Home Appliance Girl) game this summer. The game play looks similar to the popular Puzzle & Dragons mobile game but stars, of course, anthropomorphic electronics.

The cast so far includes:

Rena Ueda as Ichika (An easy to get along with DSLR camera)

Rie Murakawa as Su and Pika (Two-channel stereo speakers)

Akari Kitō as Karina (A perpetually late toaster oven)

Marika Hayase as Taho (An intercom with social anxiety)

Maria Naganawa as Ramu (A tsundere drum-type washing machine)

Other games about anthropomorphic objects include DMM and Kadokawa Games' Kantai Collection. It has an anime adaptation currently airing in Japan. DMM launched more games in the same genre including Oshiro Collection (castles as girls), Ore Tower ~Over Legend Endless Tower~ (construction tools as girls), and Tōken Ranbu (Japanese weapons as boys).
